Back from vacation, I hoped to ride to work today. Instead, I found a disturbing lack of acceleration and studdering of the machine. Less than 40 volts registered on the multi-meter, I found the batteries uncharged despite being plugged in all night.
Rode the bicycle to work, came home to try with charged batteries.
Next problem was blowing a fuse about a block away. I went and did this twice before I believed
I might have a short someplace. Its on the input side, 1.5 amp fuse * 60 V = 90 W. The output side is
fused to 7 amp * 12V = 84 W, so presumably this means the output side is pulling harder causing the input side to fail. A smaller output fuse would/should break before the input side, again if we trust it.
Checking for shorts caused my movement is something to consider as well...
